Recently, in order to accelerate the implementation of the manufacturing supply chain improvement project and promote the deep integration of modern supply chain systems into the manufacturing industry chain, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, together with the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Commerce, issued the "Guidelines for Improving the Supply Chain Management Level of Manufacturing Enterprises (Trial)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines"). In order to better understand and implement the Guidelines, it is now interpreted as follows:
1, What is the background of the introduction of the Guidelines?
The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council attach great importance to the work of industrial and supply chains. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly proposes to focus on improving the resilience and security level of industrial and supply chains. The State Council requires active promotion of supply chain innovation and application, promoting manufacturing collaboration, service-oriented, and intelligent, and promoting the improvement of the manufacturing supply chain service system.
In recent years, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, together with relevant departments, has focused on the standardization, digitization, and greening of the supply chain, strengthened the construction of the supply chain standard system, actively promoted the improvement of the supply chain management level of manufacturing enterprises, and achieved positive results. At the same time, it should also be noted that the supply chain management of most manufacturing enterprises in China is still in its early stages and lacks systematic policy guidance. It is still necessary to improve the understanding of modern supply chain innovation and development concepts, improve the construction of standard and institutional systems, and adapt to the needs of high-quality development.
Currently, a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is flourishing, and the digital economy and the real economy, modern service industry and advanced manufacturing industry are accelerating their deep integration. The high-quality development of the manufacturing industry is in a critical stage. Enterprises are the main driving force behind the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry, and an efficient and safe supply chain is an important guarantee for the high-quality development of enterprises. In response to the shortcomings and weaknesses of supply chain management in manufacturing enterprises, the formulation of the "Guidelines" and guidance for industrial and information technology, transportation, commerce departments, and relevant management and service institutions in various regions to organize and implement them are conducive to consolidating various forces, helping manufacturing enterprises improve the level of supply chain management, and thus playing a positive role in optimizing enterprise production and operation, improving quality and efficiency, and enhancing industrial resilience.
2, What is the scope and scope of application of the Guide?
The scope and objects of application of the Guidelines include three aspects: firstly, manufacturing enterprises, aiming to guide manufacturing enterprises to clarify the overall requirements and key directions for improving supply chain management level. Enterprises can combine their actual situation, adapt to the "enterprise" situation, and from a strategic perspective, formulate enterprise supply chain development strategies and implementation plans for global optimization and improvement of the supply chain; The second is industry associations, bidding service institutions, supply chain solution service providers, platform enterprises, etc., aimed at guiding various social institutions to play a positive role in helping manufacturing enterprises improve their supply chain management level; The third is the local supervisory departments at all levels, aiming to improve the policy guarantee and support environment for improving the supply chain management level of manufacturing enterprises, and strengthen organizational implementation.
3, What is the main direction for manufacturing enterprises to improve their supply chain management level guided by the Guidelines?
The Guide is guided by promoting the high-end, intelligent, and green development of the manufacturing industry, and guides manufacturing enterprises to improve their supply chain management level from six directions.
One is to strengthen multi-dimensional collaboration in the enterprise supply chain. Clarify the main connotation of multi-dimensional collaboration in the supply chain, propose four specific measures: actively building efficient collaborative organizations, focusing on promoting efficient collaboration of business processes, comprehensively promoting the sharing and sharing of factor resources, and promoting collaborative innovation to improve manufacturing level.
The second is to achieve lean supply chain management in enterprises. Clarify the main content of lean supply chain, propose three specific measures to eliminate waste in each link of the supply chain, promote the optimization of the entire supply chain process, and improve the standardized supply chain system.
The third is to accelerate the digital transformation of enterprise supply chains. Clarify the main connotation of supply chain digitalization, propose three specific measures: formulating effective supply chain digitalization strategies, strengthening the construction of supply chain management systems, and improving the digital application capabilities of supply chains.
The fourth is to improve the green supply chain system of enterprises. Clarify the main connotation of green supply chain, propose four specific measures to vigorously promote green supply chain design, actively carry out green procurement, deepen clean production, and carry out product carbon footprint accounting.
The fifth is to build a global supply chain network for enterprises. Clarify the main connotation of the global supply chain, propose three specific measures: orderly integration into the global supply chain network, joint construction and sharing of international logistics infrastructure, and improving the coordination capacity of the global supply chain.
Six is to enhance the resilience and security level of enterprise supply chains. Clarify the main connotations of supply chain resilience and security, propose four specific measures, including strengthening risk warning and response preparation, improving supplier risk management system, diversifying logistics and transportation network, and building a proactive and proactive supply chain risk control culture.
At the same time, the Guidelines have also developed a reference index system for the supply chain management level of manufacturing enterprises, for reference in enterprise practice.
4, How does the Guide serve and ensure that manufacturing enterprises improve their supply chain management level?
The Guidelines guide social institutions to strengthen supply chain management service support from three aspects: firstly, to strengthen consulting service support and encourage the construction of manufacturing industry chain supply chain information database, product database, and expert database; The second is to strengthen the support of standard services, encourage the strengthening of standard promotion, application services, and implementation effect evaluation; The third is to strengthen talent service support, encourage the integration of industry and education, science and education, and cultivate knowledge-based, skilled, and innovative supply chain management talents.
At the same time, it is proposed to take the lead in establishing three safeguard measures from the government level: firstly, to strengthen organizational implementation and build a collaborative promotion mechanism for the integration of government, industry, academia, and research; The second is to strengthen the supply and demand links, strengthen cross regional and cross domain supply chain information sharing and exchange; The third is to strengthen benchmark guidance and build a selection system for typical cases of supply chain management in different fields.
